How to have a razor sharp memory

Jan 30, 2023

Imagine this…

It is 40 years into the future. You are 74 years old, at your favourite aquarium with your grandchildren. It is the first time that they have ever been there and you feel your heart pounding with anticipation to see the joy on their faces as they see the colours and beauty of the fish for the first time. You are holding each of their hands as you walk through the entrance, and you feel your grandson’s hand squeezing yours, and hear your granddaughter giggling in anticipation.

As the doors swing open the first thing you see is a towering, wall of tropical fish, breathtaking in its beauty. You look first at the face of your granddaughter as she is suddenly completely still and you see her eyes sparkling with delight. Then you look at your grandson, who’s mouth has dropped as he catches sight of a fish with bright purple and blue scales. A thought goes through your head. I will never forget this experience. I am so grateful that I took my brain health seriously since my 30’s so that I can always remember this. In that moment you are filled with gratitude that you have the mental + cognitive health to experience this moment and you are confident that you will vividly remember it for the rest of your life. That’s the picture you want to see, isn’t it?

 

Do you want to be confident that your brain will be just as clear in your 70’s as in your 30’s? The actions you take today is what will give you the mental clarity you want. Did you know that 64% of people experience minor to major cognitive decline as they age?

On the other hand, did you know that musicians were 64% less likely to develop mild cognitive impairment or dementia?

It is so possible for you to remember core memories clearly as the day they happened. What you want to do is keep your brain strong. The different parts of your brain that are responsible for focus, cognitive health, etc are like muscles. In the same way you have to train the muscles in your body to stay strong year in and year out by doing strength training exercises, you need a routine to train your brain to stay young. One of the top reasons for neural decline with diseases such as Altziemers and Dementia is adults stop training their brains when they graduate. Overtime the muscles get weak.

It IS possible to both prevent and reverse this from happening and YOU are in control of this trajectory! Do you want to think clearly in your 70’s? Then do something about it today to have a life worth living, every day of your life.

Your first step: Book a Discovery Call with Ine to chat about the cello. When you start on the journey of learning the cello, your brain begins to work in new and different ways. This course could be the jumpstart to impeccable brain health for the rest of your life.
